Mari gave me the tools and industry insight I needed to trust my talent and fully step into what is possible. Since January (when I took her class), I've hosted two events for the International Women of Western Union and traveled from Rhode Island and New York to San Francisco to speak, host, and participate in a panel. I'll present to the Women of @CBS News Colorado, Frontier Airlines, and HR and DEI folks at FirstBank!

Mari is amazing as a teacher, a coach, and an idea-generator. Every time I sit down with her to work on a project, I get loads more information than I ever imagined, and it changes everything for me. She helps speakers get organized, get confident, and get going on their business-building, money-making journey. She's truly a pleasure to work with.
